Horseshoe Inn - Powys

I opted for 2 appetizers for a fast lunch choice. I was asked three times if the drink I ordered was a pint or half pint. I ordered the garlic stilton mushrooms, but this time there was no garlic or Stilton flavor. The duck arancini was very dry. When I mentioned this, the response was, "Different day, different chef maybe." I think I was charged for a pint even though I only had a half pint, as the bill was higher than expected. I am hesitant to return, sorry.

I am not one to review, but after reading the review below from onair557607. But her review is utter codswollop she hadn't booked at all, they were a walk in!!. She was rude, she grunted at the all staff and was constantly muttering under her breath. The food was amazing as always. Regarding the staff they do have a uniform, Darren is always considerate with this as running around in a busy pub that get hot, he always wants his staff to be comfortable when working. If the uniform is inadequate than that is a you problem onair557607. The prawn cocktail was delicious and the roast beef was succulent all veg was cooked to perfection with just enough bite. Darren, Tom and all staff you are appreciated by all customers regular or not. I'm sorry you had to deal with such a rude customer as per the review below.

Booked table for midday Sunday lunch .Never been before ,we arrived and shown to the smallest table in the place . Ordered 2 prawn cocktails to start ,butters for bread were frozen ,also bread was very dry ,prawns were in a half pint beer mug .lettuce at the bottom was old and watery ,hardly any dressing . Oh dear things has to get better but they didn't. We ordered 2 roast beef, this beef was so tuff and cold sitting in a brown watery substance .it was so tough you just could not chew it ,a separate dish of veg came brown brocoli ,tastless hard carrot sticks all covered in kale strips to hide it ,all this veg had been boiled then re heated hence its insipid colour . The pot washer kept coming out of the kitchen in filthy shoes and apron helping him Self to drinks from the bar ,the main waiter walked around chewing his pen ,the waitresses were in a sort of uniform , Very tights black leggings with dirty trainers chewing gum , We had 2 irish coffe,s the coffee was tepid, the only good thing was any good was the very expensive Chilean wine that when we asked could we have the top to take the rest home the waitress rolled her eyes and said oh ile have to go and try and find it then promptly put it down on our table with arrogance. The bill was over £80 for THAT . Never again ,I work hard for my money and this treat was a terrible waste. Avoid it .

Booked for first time Sunday lunch for myself and my disabled mum who is in her 70s. We arrived and were seen by a male waiter who informed us our table wasn't yet ready which was fine but we were informed there was nowhere to sit inside with a drink whilst we waited. There were two empty tables by the bar so we presumed these were booked for diners about to arrive. We were told we could sit outside but this wasn't suitable for my mum so we sat in the car. We went back 15 minutes later and the table still wasn't ready. We were informed the diners using our booked table were getting ready to pay and the table would be cleaned soon. The one table however which had been empty , had a couple who arrived after us , sitting having drinks and were then taken through to eat ? My mum cannot stand up for long at all but a female waitress did notice her struggle and she was kind enough to fetch mum a chair. We waited 20 minutes until the table was free which wasn't a great start. However the service from the female staff was exceptionally prompt and friendly and our mushroom starters arrived quickly and were delicious. I had a roast dinner , mum had salmon. Part of my food wasn't all hot but i am not too bothered and I enjoyed mine. Most of mums was tepid and although staff checked if our meals were okay we didn't feel we wanted to say anything. They didn't have any cheesecake left for dessert so I didn't have anything else but mum's lemon meringue she said was lovely. So all in all a mixed review with some parts better than others and one we left unsure if we would rush to go back.

The service at this restaurant was exceptionally friendly and efficient, with perfectly cooked food. The staff went above and beyond to make our grandson's 15th birthday celebration extra special. We left as happy customers!
